The Lighter Side

By Dick JVtrt

By Dick West WASHINGTON UPI—Arise, ye members of the American Swine Breeders Association and other friends of the pig! We must act at once to save the House interior subcommittee on National Parks and Reccreation from its own folly. Unless Something is done there is a good chance the subcommittee will change the name of the proposed Pig War National Historical Park and call it the San Juan Island Nar tional Historical Park. It seems that some of the subcommittee members are offended by the name in its present form. They feel that the alternate title would give the project more dignity. I’m aware that congressman are extraordinarily delicate and have a right to shield themselves from terms they consider inelegant, uncouth or unesthetic.

Foreign News Commentary

What mm f« for Us country T Majority opinion seems to agree that Sukarno is through, although ho will keep his medals and Us titles, including president of Indooissls for life. How the country’s new military leaders will handle the problems left over from nearly 20 years af economic bungling remains to be seen. The United States, Ones told by Sukarno "to hell with your aid,” wants to help but holds back for fear of embarrassing the emerging new leaders with too effusive a greeting. This leadership under army strongman Lt. Gen. Suharto has demonstrated that it Is anticommunist, at Hast So far as the Chin tea are eencSrned, but It is nationalist sad not nsces sarily pro-Western. Nonetheless, the country is in deapirsts assd e£ the kttd Of long and Short rangu aid ths united States la wBUty and able to provide. Defers SUkarno renounced U.S. aid and began fnesentnig Us JakartapPhtan Ptnh-Pak-ing-Pyengyang sad* ths United states led s cneisnrlhmi which was to radSi HOD atBtal for Indonesian seononrit aid. Since that tfcno Ihdeassia has gone oven farther downhill. Hie country’s foreign onchsnge eemtngs are figured at around $450 million annually, just about enough to pay Interest and perhaps StinlS principal on her debt4 IssvWg nothing for imports. In Sukarno'S dosing days in power, the loss of faith in the rupiah ths natlansl Currency, became absolute. The price of rice doubled in a

week. The coot of a piece Of beef multiplied by seven times in a month. The Same was true in every phase of Indonesian life. And once the new leadership consolidates, its first task must be to find a cur* for a tick economy. Sukarno in the past has survived assassination attempts and other attempts at hii overthrow. The curbs placed upon him now are less the result of any coup but rather of a war of attrition. When the army leadership laved itself firmn near-total annihilation In the attempted proCommunist take-over last Oct 1, it also began placing curbs on Sukarno’s power. It gave tacit consent to a slaughter Of Communists whose numbers may run a* high as 200,000 and whesa real figure m*y never be known. But whan Sukarno, fat an atmafcick. fired his minister, Gen. Haris NaSntten, it was the fhdnaitilan students who put eh ths presautc and kept it on deipito Sukarno’S hah on their oryiniBatVm and the closing of the university. They remain a force which must b* reckoned with by future governments. They are not wholly Satisfied how with the make up of the hew government but say they will wait and ie. As for th* government itself, the final word Seems to rest with the army. And Sukarno himself remains a voice because to most IndoneslsnS he still is th* father image of the Indo-, ntieta* revolution.

There are times, however, when they must put the public interest ahead of their Own sensibilities. The Pig War, which involved territorial conflict between the United States and Great Britain, was one of the most magnificent military enagegemehts in all history. It lasted 12 years, during which time only one shot was fired and the only casualty was a British pig. Now that, friends, is my kind of war. The pig, a black boar with a fatal fondness for tuberous vegetables, was done in on June 15, 1859, by one Lyman A. Cutler, an American farmer who found it rooting in his potato patch. The incident brought to a head an Anglo-American dispute over who owned San Juan Island in Puget Sound. Both sides moved in troops, but neither opened fire. They just sort of glowered at each other for the next 12 years. Then, through the good offices of Kaiser Wilhelm. I of Germany, possession of the island Was awarded by arbitration to the United States. I submit that a war such as that is more than worthy to lend its name to a national park, however undignified it might appear to members of Congress. The Pig War certainly sounds as glorious as the War of Jenkins’ Ear, which the British fought with Spain a century earlier. And it was a great deal more civilized. To ham* the park for Sah Juan Island would only confuse the terrorists. They would undoubtedly get It confused with the hill that Teddy Roosevelt charged up during the SpanishAmerican War. Besides that, it would be an Insult to pigs.

USMC Uses Civic Service Method

Ah arm ten-thousand mitts long? That kind of an arm is just about long enough to reach right over th* Shoulder of the kid next door, or from down the block, who te fighting in Viet Nan»—and give him the amanunition he heed* to fight the “Wsr within * Wsr.*’ This is the war that the Marine* and the Vltit Cong ate fighting to win the support of South Viet Nam. This is th* war in which the Viet Cong use Terror as their principal weapon Mid the Marine* ute kindness and Civic Action. Civic Action is not i. hew technique of warfare, but neVer before have Americans been engaged in a conflict in which it has had such great importance. Civic action is the prograih Of assistance—not charity—which the Marines undertake to help the Vietnamese people rebuild their lives as free people after years of Viet Cong domination. In Viet Nam it began with the voluntary, compassionate acts of the average young Marine, who, as Americans in uniform have always done, shared his rations with the hungry children of the villages. Initially, the Navy doctors and cropsmen set up aid station* to provide medical care for the wounded and ill. Then as the units came in contact with more ihd more civilians, the program began to grow. Now they treat about 2,500 Vietnamese e&tifi day. Marines are taping to repair

toads, bridges, schools and Church**. W*11* ari dug and soap provided along with food, clothing, and mbit important, tooie to rebuild homes destroyed by war. These are the means the people need to tap regain their self teepict, Ambitions And hopes. At first only a few Americans were given the opportunity to grow a 10,000 mile arm. Marines wrote home to their parents, Friend* and wives for soap, clothes, food and other items to help the vfllagere. The response was immediate and overwhelming. The mails were overloaded and because the more explosive materials of war were in much greater demand, a better system had to be provided. CARE teamed up with the Marine Corps Reserve and instituted the Marine Corps Civic Actidii Fund in Viet Ham. The Marine dorps Reserve is asking tor contributions to CARE to be used in support of th* Civic Action program operated by the Marines in Viet Nam. dARE, already operating in Viet ttam, is tiring the funds collected under this program to react to the immediate needs of the military commander on the spot He can then start a civic action program in which the firit steps can be taken even a* the military action is

still going on. to its broadest scope, civie action is rebuilding the country side hamlet by hamlet and village by village. It is the return of security And self respect to a proud people. But a mora immediate aspect is found in the every day return of trust and friendship. As the kid from down the block moves along a jungle path, a Vietnamese peasant will stop him and show him where the Viet Cong have laid a booby trap or built a pit of punji stakes. Village elders will halt a Marine petrol and warn them that the VC have set an ambush in the village. A mother whose child was given medical treatment delivered there Viet Cong snipers to a Marine outpost instead of guiding them behind th* Marines’ lines. Millions of Americans can reach for a piece of the action by giving these young Marines in Viet Nam. immediate and meaningful help A* they go on patrol or into action against the Viet Cong.
